NBA Fastbreak Translite (resized).jpg

I recently traded for a NBA Fastbreak and the vinyl translite has some leftover residue on the back of the translite from some old tape. I tried windex, vinegar and rubbing alcohol but no luck. Would lighter fluid work? any suggestions?

This is a dangerous question. You never know how a particular cleaner is going to react with the translight. You could suggest something that has worked for you a dozen times but when the other guy tries it, it ruins his translight.

So, with WARNING that it may damage your translight I would try GooGone. Not GoofOff or whatever the other stuff is.

I've had luck with naphtha on tape residue, but obviously, proceed with caution.

Thanks for the suggestions! I will let you know what happens.
